If you have started a medical abortion by taking the first dose of the abortion pill (mifepristone) and are now experiencing regret, doubt, or want to reverse the process, it may not be too late.
There is a time-sensitive medical option, known as Abortion Pill Reversal (APR), that has helped many women continue their pregnancies after taking the first pill.
If you have taken the first drug but don’t want to complete the abortion, contact Oasis Medical Center right away. Our compassionate team is here to provide medical consultation, answer your questions, and help you understand available options as you decide what comes next.
What Is a Medical Abortion?
A medical abortion typically involves two different drugs taken in sequence. The first drug, mifepristone, blocks progesterone, a hormone essential for maintaining pregnancy.
The second drug, misoprostol, is taken 24-48 hours later and causes the uterus to contract, leading to abdominal cramping and bleeding that expels the developing fetus.
Once misoprostol has been taken, reversal is less likely because it actively triggers uterine contractions. However, the abortion pill sometimes fails, so even if you did take misoprostol, reach out.
There are potential side effects you may experience after taking the abortion pill.
Abortion Pill Reversal
Abortion Pill Reversal (APR) is a treatment that provides supplemental progesterone. Since mifepristone works by blocking the body’s natural progesterone, APR provides high doses of this hormone to counteract the effects of the first drug.
While success cannot be guaranteed, research shows reversal rates of 64 to 68% without increasing the risk of birth defects.
Time is critical. The sooner you reach out to Oasis Medical Center, the better your chances of reversing the abortion pill. We’re here to help you.
